Hi,

it doesn't matter if "stereo in a live crowd situation" should or
shouldn't be over rated. I agree that mono usually should be good
enough, but OTOH you still need to care about time differences when
using more than one mono speaker, if you e.g. care about good audio
quality for music or an easy to understand talker. A "sound
installation" might be based on strong stereo usage, but not
necessarily require good sync for the 2 channels. IOW mono might render
it useless, if it should be important that the duck is quacking 10
seconds from the right side only and after that 10 seconds from the
left side only ;), so sync would be completely irrelevant.

Regards,
Ralf
